About 5,000 years ago, there was a kind leader named Shennong in China. He saw villagers getting sick but having no medicine. “I must help them!” he thought. So, he left his home, carrying a basket and walking through mountains and rivers. Day after day, he tasted hundreds of herbs (草药)—some sweet, some bitter (苦的), some even poisonous (有毒的).

One summer, a village child had a high fever with no medicine. Shennong climbed a hill. His hands were cut by some plant leaves but he didn’t stop. He tried a green leaf, then another. Finally, he found a herb—when boiled, its juice cooled the child’s fever. The next day, the child laughed and played. Villagers cheered, “Shennong, you’re our hero!” He smiled, “We all help each other—this is how we stay strong.”

Once, he ate a wrong plant and fell ill. His followers rushed to see him, but Shennong said, “If I don’t try, how will others find safe herbs?” Luckily, he drank the mountain spring water and got better.

Later, he wrote down what he learned in a book, teaching people which herbs cure (治愈) fevers, cuts, or coughs.

Shennong’s story teaches us: Work hard to help others, even if it’s not easy. Be brave to try new things, and never forget those who care about you. Today, we still remember him—our first “herb doctor” and a hero of hard work and love.

(    )4. What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 1 refer to?

A. Rivers.  B. Leaders.  C. Villagers.  D. Herbs.
